Please LIKE, COMMENT, SUB and SHARE... YouTube does not like this type of divisive and controversial content on their platform ;)

Its better this way!! I do not want to waste my time with Q&A like if a bird poops on the cat6 wire I ran in my attic will that degrade my network speed? Or the I have to show off my "knowledge" time waster: I know Pi to a thousand places....amazing "guru"!! PLEASE!! Keep it like this!!!

"Create more tiggers" may be the funniest thing I've heard you say in quite a while. Epic.

Thanks for sharing this...I know these presentations don't get Linus Tech Tips level views, but they are definitely valuable. After watching this, I'm thinking about how I can use SMS with the SaaS I'm putting together. Seems like it could be more affordable and easier (crappy documentation notwithstanding) than I originally thought...

How beautiful and loving Eli is when he is just an innocent helpful computer geek.

I was watching u since 2012 now i worked in ..Wipro

[jeffreyhatfield]

Very interesting service. Thank you for the introduction.

[socat]

Thanks for the vid! Not relevant to the rest but triggered my curiosity. What would happen if, in your embedded PHP in the twiml respone <?php echo body>, i sent as body something like "system("ls")"?

[guywinters]

Cell services can delay delivery of SMS by hours, depending upon their own traffic levels, unlike voice over cell. SMS to several recipients would make timely delivery more likely.

Clicked as soon as I saw the new vid. Hope it helps.
P.S. Glad I did! :-) Fun technology

Could the media file be on a network server? and if the phone was on VPN it would show otherwise it would show an error?

[annacurransmotherofmeghanc]

Can a Stingray intercept these communications? No reason. Just wondering.
